The Effects of Xanthorrhizol on the Morphology of Candida Cells Examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy
The effects of xanthorrhizol, a natural anticandidal agent isolated from the rhizome of temulawak or java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) on the morphology of four human pathogenic Candida species, i.e., C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. guilliermondii, and C. parapsilosis was examined by scanning...
